Graduated senior Frederik Kjettrup of Florida State Men’s Golf was named to the Division I PING All-America Second Team on Wednesday, becoming just the fourth three-time All-American in program history.

Kjettrup, a native of Aabybro, Denmark, earns his third straight All-America honor after receiving honorable mention accolades in 2022 and 2023. Fittingly, he stepped up his play as a senior and recorded a career-low 70.66 stroke average – the eighth-lowest all-time at FSU among players whom competed for a full year (fall and spring seasons).

Kjettrup joins Nolan Henke (1983-87), John Pak (2017-21) and former teammate Brett Roberts (2020-24) among the three-time All-Americans at FSU. He joins Luke Clanton on this year’s PING All-America Team, as Clanton was recognized as a first-team performer last week.

In his outstanding senior season, Kjettrup garnered six Top-10 finishes in 11 tournaments played and earned ACC Co-Medalist honors after co-winning the stroke play portion of the ACC Championships. In the NCAA Stanford Regional, he tied for second place and then delivered the clinching putt to send the Seminoles to the National Championship Match when he defeated Georgia Tech’s Hiroshi Tai, 3&1.

Kjettrup joined Clanton on Monday in qualifying for the upcoming 2024 U.S. Open held at Pinehurst Resort, which is next week from June 13-16.

Among players who competed for all four years, Kjettrup leaves the Seminoles with the second-lowest career average at 71.29.

Kjettrup finished eighth in the 2024 PGA TOUR University Rankings, earning exemption to the PGA TOUR Americas as well as conditional Korn Ferry Tour status for those who finish 6-10 in the rankings.

In his career, Kjettrup was a three-time winner – including once in each of his sophomore, junior and senior seasons. Kjettrup was a co-winner at the 2022 All-American Intercollegiate and the 2023 Watersound Invitational winner in addition to his 2024 ACC Championships title.
